Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I manage more low-income properties and am having a difficult time obtaining valid contact information for reference checks from previous residences. I do look at my local city parcel information in which a majority only lists the deed holder which is usually some distant investing company. I was contemplating in hiring a PI or debt collection agency in hopes of having a bigger database available to me with more current numbers of owners/landlords?
Also, because most of my tenant base is low-income, a good majority of past residences are small private landlords, I have the off assumption that a good majority of potential tenants are providing false contact number in which a close friend or family will claim to be the owner/landlord.
PLEASE!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

If it is low income families you can also use HUD to check references. If they have been on any gov't subsidies they will have a track record.
